EDILIANS: roofing - tiles, slate, zinc

A long-standing specialization in roof tiles

EDILIANS is part of a French industrial tradition centered on the manufacture of terracotta tiles. Originating from the evolution of Imerys Roofing, the group was built by integrating several recognized tile factories, each rooted in a specific territory and expertise.

This structure now allows us to offer a wide range of roof tiles adapted to the different French climatic basins, while retaining local aesthetic characteristics.

👉 Definition: a roof tile is a roofing element intended to ensure the watertightness of a structure, by overlapping or interlocking.

An offering structured around terracotta tiles

EDILIANS' core business is based on the production of terracotta tiles, available in several construction systems:

• Canal tiles for Mediterranean areas
• flat tiles for regions with high rainfall
• interlocking mechanical tiles to optimize installation

These solutions meet the requirements of DTU of series 40particularly with regard to slope, covering and fixing.

Local appellations and regional roots

The group promotes its production sites through specific designations:

• Aubois
• Doyet
• Gels
• Huguenot
• Jacob
• Phalempine
• Pudenx
• Without
• Sainte-foy

These names reflect an adaptation of roof tiles adapted to local constraintsboth in terms of format and shade.

Complete roofing systems around the tile

Beyond the tile itself, EDILIANS develops a comprehensive approach to roofing, integrating all the components necessary for the performance of the structure:

• roofing accessories (ridge cap, verge cap, ventilation)
• air sealing solutions
• rainwater drainage systems
• roof insulation

This system logic makes it possible to guarantee the compatibility of elements and the sustainability of the implementation.

👉 Concrete example: the combination of a mechanical tile with an underlayment and ventilated accessories improves airflow management and limits the risk of condensation.

Thermal performance and RE2020 compliance

In the context of the RE2020The roof tile is part of a comprehensive approach to energy performance.

The terracotta tiles offered by EDILIANS contribute to:

• protection against solar radiation
• the thermal inertia of the roof
• the durability of the envelope

However, their effectiveness depends on their integration into a complex that includes:

• high-performance insulation
• compliant ventilation
• a sizing validated by a thermal design office

👉 Limitation: the tile alone does not constitute insulation and requires a complete system to meet regulatory objectives.

Innovation and evolution of roof tiles

EDILIANS also develops solutions integrating new functions, particularly in the field of innovative roof tiles :

• solar tiles for energy production
• systems improving stormwater management
• format optimization to reduce exposure time

These developments address the current challenges facing the sector:

• energy transition
• carbon footprint reduction
• industrialization of processes

"Innovation in roof tiles aims to integrate new functions without altering the aesthetics of buildings."

A network of actors and skills centered around the tile

EDILIANS solutions are aimed at all professionals in the sector:

• roofer for the installation
• project manager for the specification
• design office for sizing

The company supports these stakeholders through:

• technical training
• implementation support
• a national distribution network

This approach aims to secure the installation of the tiles and guarantee their compliance with normative requirements.

French production serving the building industry

EDILIANS relies on a network of industrial sites spread across France. This organization allows:

• to limit logistical delays
• to adapt the tiles to regional specificities
• to maintain a link with local supply chains

It also contributes to controlling product quality and traceability.

Environmental commitment and tile sustainability

The manufacture of terracotta tiles is part of a sustainable material approach:

• natural raw material (clay)
• recyclability
• product longevity

EDILIANS incorporates eco-design approaches aimed at reducing the environmental impact of its tiles, particularly during the production and transport phases.

EDILIANS, a key player in the French tile market

EDILIANS occupies a central position in the sector of roof tileby combining industrial heritage, local roots and technological evolution. Its positioning is based on complete control of the value chain, from the manufacture of the tiles to their implementation on site.

In a context of building transformation, the tile remains a key element of the roof, whose performance depends as much on the product as on its integration into a global construction system.
